AN EDUCATION OF THE HEART AND MIND. Community service, ethical decision-making and the arts are just as important as academic excellence.
AN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL IN THE CATHOLIC TRADITION.We focus on building an inclusive, respectful community. Our students do not have to be Catholic; they just need to be open-minded and appreciate the spiritual part of life.
UNITY THROUGH DIVERSITY. We strive for balance, for acceptance.We are 66% Catholic, 55% Upper East Side, 26% Students of Color, 20% on Financial Aid. 21% of our families have parents with International Backgrounds

A DYNAMIC, RIGOROUS, INTEGRATED CURRICULUM. Our collaborative approach crosses disciplines, infuses technology and uses the Metropolitan Museum of Art as its textbook.18 APs are offered in our College Preparatory Program.
THE POWER OF A SINGLE SEX EDUCATION. Research shows that students in a girls’ school find their voice, gain greater confidence, become astute leaders and are academically more successful, especially in math, science, and technology.
A HAPPY HEALTHY HEALTHY COMMUNITY. A 6:1 Student-Teacher Ratio, a commitment to professional development and a faculty that stays an average of 7 years make for a personalized school experience. We are sensitive to individual needs and learning styles.
